Dust issues aside, how do you know the heads are the problem? If the
heads have crashed, the disk surface is likely to be scarred up too.

Only in a small place I'd expect.

Usually a whole head-width of tracks get scraped up. 40 to 80 tracks.

and as soon as the new heads go over the bad spot you're likely to have
a second set of bad heads.
